In the affected vehicles, the electrical system's ground terminal and housings for the rear lighting can be damaged with age, which could lead to a loss of taillights, turn signals, reverse and brake lights. To remedy the situation, BMW will fit new rear lamp bulb carriers.

BMW will start the notification process in October. Customers who may own an affected vehicle can kick-start the process by contacting BMW's customer relations at 800-525-7417 or CustomerRelations@bmwusa.com.
